My approach to design is creative, practical, and collaborative. While I think it's important to create work that is visually compelling, I am a strong advocate of clean design that is straightforward and user-friendly. I have over twelve years of professional design experience and have worked in the corporate world, academia, advertising, and non-profit arena. My educational background includes a BA in Art History from NYU, and a BFA in Studio Art from the School of Art + Design at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
